Perfect Plaza Stay

From the moment we stepped on this property until the moment we left, we were treated like kings and queens. The front desk was exceptional. I believe it was Amy who went way above and beyond every single time we asked. I would stay here again in a heartbeat it’s a beautiful place and the service is beyond five stars.

As advertised…

We wanted to find a cool and unique hotel for a night as we traveled through to Colorado. This was exactly what we hoped for. My 4 young children were impressed and had the time of their lives. The access to the park and restaurants made it ideal. We were treated like royalty!
